Sundown Mary

Tommy Overstreet


Well I first met Sundown Mary a year ago today
Hitchin' the same road I was a goin' the other way
We talked and then she said you might be nice to have around
If you don't mind layin' your head wherever the sun goes down

I've always been a loner never have no one before
But with every town we passed through I loved her a little more
And one night as I kissed her I thought she felt the same
But then the spell was broken by the whistle of a train

What have you heard from Sundown Mary what has she done today
Is she eatin' her food from the silver spoon and off of the golden plate
Is she in the chips in Texas or stranded broke in Maine
Do you know if Sundown Mary ever speaks my name
Ever speaks my name

We hopped a freight to Boton Rouge the trip took several days
I had no idea that she thought of going seperate ways
There in the crowded station she softly spoke my name
And said it's time to leave you I come and go like rain

There's not much left of what you'd call the man I used to be
For in her place an empty space haunts my memory
Always broke and lonely I age a year a day
And when I get to drinking nights there's just one thing I say

What have you heard from Sundown Mary...
